Royal Prince Alfred Basic Physician Training (RPA BPT) Revision Course

The RPA BPT Revision Course is an intensive, two-week programme designed to support basic physician trainees in their preparation for the Adult Medicine FRACP Divisional Written Examination. Our world-class presenters deliver up-to-date, high-yield content tailored to optimise examination preparation.

The course is held annually in-person in the Kerry Packer Education Centre at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, and also livestreamed for those attending virtually. All lecture content is subsequently available on-demand to support your ongoing revision.

The program features lectures in all major topic areas, interactive MCQ sessions, high-quality printed course notes (in colour and bound) and culminates in a 100 MCQ, 3-hour trial examination.

Our speakers are highly regarded specialists in their respective fields. The course is co-ordinated by the RPA Basic Physician Training Network Training Team.
